TWW! Lets keep eachother sane

[mumtoone2019]

Hey everyone!

Anyone else in the TWW! I'm halfway through and going insane😩 i've had so many symptoms and i think i've also had implantation bleeding but worried its all in my head!

How are you all getting on?

@ACMJ angry 😂 what a random symptom! I've been hungrier today and I'm currently chewing a Rennie's too for heartburn - I've not eaten anything in particular to set that off either but maybe it's related to the hunger thing. I think I'm picking out things that are happening and thinking hmmm maybe that's a sign! It probably isn't and I'm making myself question every little thing. I've even been prodding my boobs to see if they're sensitive, OH is sick of seeing them 😂

[quote Bee44]@mumtoone2019 my Amazon IC's came last night so I did one too, BFN of course as my AF isn't due for another week so I'm not concerned (just wanted to see how the strip tests worked mainly). There's still plenty of time left for you to get your BFP this cycle! Remember, you're not out until AF arrives 🤞🏻[/quote]
Thank you so much! I needed to hear that today! Fingers crossed for you too. Have you had any symptoms? X

@WrongendoftheSTIX

I haven't bought any IC this month as I KNOW I will use them. I didn't get a BFP until 16dpo with DC1. 8dpo is very early so you're not out yet. My temp is dropping so I'm guessing it's a no go this month but had low hopes. Took 3 years with DC unlikely to be one month this time!

Fingers crossed for you🤞🏻 this is our 6th cycle ttc #2. Mad to think that we ended up pregnant with number 1 whilst i was on the pill and now we're trying it seems to be taking forever.

How are you doing? Are you managing to hold off from testing? It's so difficult!

@Alice4563

I just started a new thread then saw this straight after! I’m on 4DPO cycle 2 trying for baby 2 and time is going so so slow! I’m not the most patient person anyway but the TWW is torture haha...hope everyone’s doing ok and fingers crossed for lots of BFPs this month :)

Fingers crossed for you too lovely🤞🏻 and this TWW is deffo dragging. When is AF Due?x

@mumtoone2019 I'm not 100% sure when AF is due as I'm on cycle 2 after a 10wk miscarriage which has made my cycles a bit more unpredictable! I got a positive OPK last Monday though so think I ovulated on the Tuesday. I'm going to test on Thursday which will be 9DPO (sure I'll cave before then though )

When is your AF due / how many DPO are you? I feel like I'm going a bit crazy already, struggling to think of much else!

How’s everyone doing today? I caved and did a test this morning at 8 dpo - obviously too early but was still disappointed by BFN. Has anyone else given in and tested this early?!

I’ve noticed that I’ve got some raised bumps on the area around my nipples last night and this morning. Could this be a sign of something or am I over thinking it? No other signs other than being quite emotional today, but I think that’s tiredness as both DP and I slept really badly last night!

Sorry to hear about your mc! I'm due AF On Thursday. Caved and done 2 tests now one on Saturday and one today. Both BFN. Symptoms still there and boobs are getting more tender, especially today

I took the clearblue ultra early so doubt im pregnant

Hey @ottie27 i did a test today too! BFN of course so doubt i'm pregnant.

I've had the bumps too and was wondering if this was normal? Never noticed them before

How are you doing? In feeling so dissapointed today tbh

Hey ladies can I join please? First cycle TTC. Came off the pill and had WB 26th jan, had peak ovulation 14th Feb. 8 DPO and I feel so sick atm. Crying at everything. I normally have really bad period pains and haven't got tbem yet. Already POAS loads 😂 got 2 FRER coming and got some CB. Think I'm gunna test with the FRER on Wednesday. According to my FLO app I'm due on my period tomorrow but don't think that's right as I ovulated so late. I did drink alcohol on the weekend so feel like I've killed my chances of this month! Driving myself crazy waiting 😂

For all those getting BFN it's not too late until AF Comes. Some people don't get BFP till 14 DPO

So still time xx

Ahh @Arrierttyclock my flashing smiley buddy 😂😂 i don't know which is worse, waiting for the static smiley or being in the tww! I'm telling myself I'll wait til Friday to test but I'll absolutely test before then, convincing no one! I'm also crying lots and I literally haven't cried in over a year. Cramps have settled today so far. Keeping everything crossed for us both

@Arrierttyclock ah it sounds like you’re on exactly the same schedule as me! First month off pill and ovulation on the same day too! Fingers crossed for us both. I’m also sceptical of the AF date on my app but I guess it’s bound to be a bit off the first month off the pill as it just assumes we’re on a 28 day cycle.

@Arrierttyclock @ottie27 I came off the pill in the middle of January with a WB beginning of Feb. I think my fitness app is sick of me changing my AF dates 😂 they automatically predicted 28 day cycles. My last cycle was 23days so I'm expecting this one to be the same too, my app currently says 6th March (as a 28dayer) but I ovulated on the 13th so the 27th would be right for me I think!

@Fifi1086 that bloody flashing smiley haunted me 😂😂 it's like a month of torture I feel like I'm wishing my life away for a certain date that never comes 😂 I'm going to test on Wednesday because I have zero self control! Omg the emotions!! I cried on Saturday because my husband wouldn't roll dough with me. Then I cried last night because I didn't want him to die!! Wtf! I'm an emotional person but this is OTT!

@ottie27 ah what are the chances! When will you be testing??

@Bee44 ah that's not too far! Will you be testing before or waiting to see if AF makes an appearance?
Xx

Hi All.

8DPO I think. 6th month trying. First month on Clomid.

I have sort of convinced myself that I'll never get pregnant due to various medical issues but I have been having some funny twinges this month so who knows.

I'll try to hold off testing til Friday.

@Arrierttyclock it feels like such a long way away! Luckily work will keep me busy so I'm hoping I don't get any urges to test 😂 hoping to test on Saturday and then every morning after that until AF arrives. Trying so hard to remember what AF symptoms I had last month and I'm sure I started with cramps a few days before so I'll be looking out for them coming soon (or not hopefully!) I've got a box full of IC's so at least I won't feel too bad if they're wasted from Saturday.

@Somatronic got everything crossed for you lovely x

@Bee44 I'm back in work today and I've also got some FRERs coming- 4 in total from Amazon so my plan was to test tonight, Wednesday, DH is away Thursday so was gunna skip that then Friday and Saturday..... what is wrong with me

I've woken up with cramping on my left side. It's strange it dosent feel like my normal period cramps as I'm usually bedridden with those. I'm 9 DPO today. Hoping it's a good sign but I don't "feel" pregnant today if you get me.

I keep telling myself this time next week I'll know but that seems so far off! I'm also trying to sleep as much as possible atm because I'm petrified about the lack of sleep 😂

@mumtoone2019 sorry to hear about the BFNs so far but if AF isn’t here yet there’s still a chance! I think you implant from day 6 to day 12 past ovulation so it’s quite a range.

I had a busy work day yesterday which distracted me but woken up thinking about it all again! My FRER delivery arrives tomorrow so sure I’ll probably cave and test at 8DPO!

10dpo this morning and my BBT is still dropping so guess that's why I've had no symptoms.

Hi everyone, it's so lovely to read all of your messages as I surely can commiserate. I am at about 8dpo today and have tested daily since 6dpo using cheapies , all bfn of course.

I have no remarkable symptoms though I am surely looking for them. Last time I was pregnant I had extremely sore boobs and implantation bleeding, but sadly it was a chemical at 4 weeks. Only symptoms this time around are lots of gas cramps and stomach making sounds even when I am not hungry which are unusual for me. Also, I feel extremely hungry all the time and when I eat, feel extremely bloated. Whilst unusual, these are also not so noteworthy and do not at all mimic my symptoms from a few months back, so honestly thinking this is not my month. AF due in three/four days depending on Flo/Clue.

My rhr is acting funny though, it started to trend down (73 to 72 to 71 over last three days) which always signifies the beginning of my AF. However, this morning it shot back up to 73. Other threads have found a link between rhr and being pregnant, so this is the only real difference for me. Time will tell I suppose. I have two FRER and a digital but will try to hold on for the next three days.

Wishing us all babydust !

@TryingToNotTry Fingers crossed for you! It drives you crazy symptom spotting doesn't it, if only there was a way of knowing right away as the TWW every month is so rough! I can accept the BFNs but the not knowing is the tough bit...for an impatient soul like me anyway

When I was pregnant with DD I think it was the one cycle I had zero symptoms (until 7 weeks...then they came in abundance)...but then had lots from the start with my second pregnancy so think it can go either way!

@Alice4563 symptom spotting is not nice at all! I am truly sorry to hear about your loss, I know it could not have been easy. I hope that this cycle things norm a bit, who knows, maybe it's your lucky one .

It's nice to know that a lack of symptoms does not mean we are out :-). That should make me feel better but it actually makes me even more excitable lol.

I'm sure your excited for your FRER delivery! I am so tempted, but trying to hold out...

BFN at 10 DPO. So think I'm out this month. AF technically supposed to start yesterday but think I'm out of whack as itl be y first proper one off the pill

@Arrierttyclock me too sadly - BFN at 10dpo. But that’s still earlyish so there’s still a chance until AF actually arrived!

I’m currently trying to convince myself that, as I felt ovulation pain in the evening, I’m only actually 9dpo - I want that extra day!
